POSThttps://seolyticize.com/api/v1/tools/get_toxic_link_risk

Judges each site linking to the client from the evidence a person can check: the vendor's spam score (fetchSpamScores: true buys it for every linking site inside this call — one paid DataForSEO request of up to 1,000 sites, the price of get_backlink_spam_scores, with sites scored in the last 30 days reused free; or pass spamScores you already have), sitewide links (the link on most of the pages we hold of the site: a footer or blogroll), link-seller neighbourhoods (a site linking out to hundreds of domains from few pages), commercial exact-match anchors (pass moneyTerms; brand terms are excluded), the vendor links' own authority and outbound signals, and claude-seo's thirty toxic patterns where the data allows (a page with 10,000+ or 50+ outbound links, a domain registered under 30 days ago with 100+ outbound links or re-registered after it lapsed — from RDAP for the sites linking out most — pharma or casino injections, sitewide links and exact-match anchors from unrelated sites, foreign-language and parked sites, article directories, forum profiles, press release wires, coupon sites, comment links, unrelated niches when moneyTerms say what the client does), each pattern reported flagged, clear or unmeasured with why. disavow says whether a file is worth making (toxic over 10% of the sites: yes; under 2%: no). A verdict (healthy, review, toxic) and every reason with its detail; whether the last saved disavow file already names the site, and the toxic sites that appeared since it. Answers 'which of our links are toxic and why' and 'what should go in the disavow file now'. 'review' means look, not disavow. Free without fetchSpamScores; with it, quote it with estimate_cost or dryRun first.

Parameters

Idempotency-Keystringheader
Any unique string, up to 200 characters. A retry with the same key and body is answered from the first answer (Idempotent-Replayed: true) for a day, so it never buys or writes twice; the same key with another body is refused.

Request body

application/json
clientIdstringrequired
moneyTermsstring[]
= []
spamScoresobject
Domain → DataForSEO spam score, from get_backlink_spam_scores.

fetchSpamScoresboolean
True to buy the vendor's spam score for every linking site inside this call (one paid request of up to 1,000 sites, the price of get_backlink_spam_scores; sites scored in the last 30 days are reused free). Quote it with estimate_cost or dryRun first.

limitinteger

maxCostMicrosinteger
Optional spending limit for this call, in micro-USD (1,000,000 = $1). A purchase that would take the call past it is refused before anything is bought. Pass the estimate from estimate_cost, or what the user agreed to spend.
dryRunboolean
True to buy nothing and get the quote instead: what the call would cost at most and what it would buy.
